London 1898. Die viktorianische Epoche nähert sich ihrem Ende, das 20. Jahrhundert rückt näher.

Es ist eine Epoche, die Helden braucht.§§Allan Quatermain, Kapitän Nemo, Hawley Griffin, Dr. Henry Jekyll, Mr. Edward Hyde und Mina Murray sind diese Helden, und gemeinsam bilden sie die "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen", die Liga der außergewöhnlichen Gentlemen.§§Angeworben vom rätselhaften Campion Bond, der seine Befehle vom mysteriösen "M" erhält, werden die sechs Abenteurer in den Dienst ihres Empires genötigt, als dieses sie braucht. Sie müssen einem teuflischen Doktor und seinen tückischen Plänen zur Übernahme der Weltherrschaft entgegentreten.

In the future, wars will no longer be fought by men of flesh and blood. Instead, robots march forth into battle, to finish a job left half-done. It is not their war, not their cause, and yet they fight and die for the cause, heroes one and all. Hammerstein: the leader. Joe Pineapples: the ultimate assassin. Blackblood: the traitor. Mongrol: the killer machine. Deadlock: the crazed priest of Khaos. Mek-Quake: the coward. Ro-Jaws: the garbage eater. They are the Mek-Nificent Seven, they are the A.B.C Warriors - atomic, bacterial and chemical war robots, programmed for destruction - and this is their story.
